L-Ascorbic acid is found all over the plant world, often in quite large quantities and distributed throughout the plant. The biochemistry of vitamin C in plants is very poorly understood. view which. seems to be accepted generally is that in some way L-ascorbic acid is merely a secondary product of plant metabolism. It. seems curious that such a ubiquitous compound in plants should be there almost incidentally as a by-product of other proces.ses, though it is fortunate for tho.se creatures that have lost their ability to synthesise the vitamin that it is. so ...
